Enchanted Betrayal

Chapter Seven.

I look at myself in the mirror for what felt like the millionth time. Because I had a change of heart on what I was going to wear, my hair and make up needed to be redone. Thankfully though, with Beth's help, it didn't take too long.

I'm wearing a light blue halter neck dress that comes to just under my butt (which shows off my wolf's head tattoo on my thigh) and makes my breasts stick up like they would in a Victoria Secret catalogue photo. I had my hair pulled up into a high bun with natural looking make up and to top it off I borrowed a pair of heels from Beth, although walking in them is going to be a challenge.

Completely satisfied with how I looked I took a few more deep breaths to steady my nerves. Beth opened the door and stepped out first, with me close behind.

Beth went straight to Matt and hugged him while he placed a kiss on her neck where she bore his mark.

I just stood there feeling an i***t and looking at my feet. Jacob gets up from the couch, walks up to me and grabs my chin while smiling down at me.

"You look absolutely stunning Roxy."

"Thank you," I say while blushing. "You don't look too bad yourself."

Both Matt and Jacob were wearing jeans and shirts. Jacob is wearing a white shirt which shows off his broad shoulders and his sleeves are rolled up showing how muscly his arms are.

          Could he look any hotter?

"Are you ready?" Jacob asks me.

"I think so," I reply nervously. Anyone would think that this was my first date or something.

Jacob holds his arm out for me. I gently place my hand on his forearm and as a group we head out to our date.

We walked for what seemed like forever but in real time was actually about five minutes. I'm already regretting my shoe choice. Jacob keeps throwing me side glances, I think he's enjoying watching me hobble in them.

"Would you like me to carry you?" He asks me.

"No thank you," I stop and take my shoes off and feel so much relief at my feet being back on the ground again. My feet can finally stop burning now.

"Wow, I never realised how short you are," Jacob smirked at me.

"Is my height such an issue for you?" I reply, raising my eyebrow.

"Not in the slightest. I love the fact that I tower over you."

"How much longer are we going to walk for?"

"Not much longer, we just have to take a quick shortcut through the woods and then we'll be there."

"The woods? I thought we were going out to eat?"

"Don't worry Princess, I'll protect you. Although you might want me to carry you through the woods."

I look over at Beth and Matt in front of us and Beth is still in Matts arms and has been since we left the cabin. Beth looks over Matts shoulder at me and winks.

"That would be a terrible idea, my butt would fall out of my dress." I say while laughing.

Jacob stopped us where we stood, let go of my arm and circled me while giving me a serious look.

"Yes, that would be a problem. Hmm, it's a good thing there's no one around then." He stopped behind me and the next thing I know, he's picked me up and my arms are going around his neck. He has one arm under my back and the other going over my legs instead of under.

          Aww, he's protecting my dignity. How thoughtful.

I lay my head on his chest and he sniffs my hair and lets out a small growl.

"Did you just sniff me?" I giggled.

"And what if i did? You smell amazing, I've missed your scent."

"Uh huh, if you say so." Being this close to him is sending every nerve in my body into overdrive. He smells so good but I'm not going to admit this to him.

"You realise I can smell your arousal, don't you?"

"Oh my Goddess, that is so embarrassing," I say, feeling my face go as red as my hair.

"Don't be embarrassed, it's natural for Mates to be attracted to each other."

Just as he says this, we finally reach a clearing in the woods. He puts me down so I can look properly. I gasp, it's so beautiful. There are two blankets on the ground with picnic baskets in their centre and tiki torches going around the edge of the clearing and flower petals everywhere. Jacob still has hold of my waist and he bends down and whispers in my ear.

"How did I do?"

"It's beautiful."

"I wanted to do something personal for our first date."

"It's perfect."

We pick the blanket on the left and open up the picnic basket. Inside are sandwiches, chocolate covered strawberries, rosé wine and a few beer bottles. I kneel down on the blanket and Jacob sits next to me. He pours me a glass of wine and opens a bottle of beer for himself. By the time he's put a few plates on the blanket and got out some sandwiches, I'm reaching for the bottle of wine.

"Thirsty?"

"Maybe," I say getting shy again.

He chuckles. "I thought we could have dinner and then head to the party, this way we could get comfortable with each other and be honest with each other."

"Sounds like a plan. So whats your first question?"

"Why do you have a wolf tattoo?"

"I was having a rebellious stage when I was in Harmony. I'd been wanting a tattoo for years, so I asked my parents if they would be ok with me getting one. My dad was alright with it, especially being as Fairies could get them done as soon as their powers come in, its like a symbol of sorts. My mum on the other hand said that it was unbecoming of a princess to get one. I tried to argue my case but she wasn't having any of it, so I stormed out and in my fit of rage I went straight to the tattoo parlour and chose this one. It caused such a backlash from my mum and she didn't speak to me for like a week."

"What made you choose a wolf?"

"Well... it glowed when I looked at it, so I took it as a sign that I was supposed to have this one. I never regretted it and as strange as it sounds it always felt like the wolf was watching over me. Why? Are you offended that I have this tattoo?"

"No, its just, the wolf looks like mine."

"What? How could that be?"

"I'm not sure but maybe it was a hint from the Goddess that I was your Mate."

"Maybe. So how do you feel about me being your Mate now? Are you still embarrassed?"

"I don't think you want the answer to that question,"

"You saying that makes me want the answer even more."

"I love the fact that you're my Mate, I love your scent and the way you made me feel when we slept together last night. And you look so beautiful tonight you honestly make my d**k twitch and make me want to mark you." He says leaning closer to me. He places a kiss on my neck and sends a shiver down my spine.

"I don't think I'm ready for anything like that yet Jacob."

"That's ok, we'll go at your pace. I don't want to ruin our future together. I was just being honest with you about how you make me feel."

We finish eating our food and decide to make a move to the party.

The wine is already starting to get to my head so I take hold of Jacobs hand and thread my fingers through his. It's purely to keep me steady right now, even though my body is purring with the contact.

          I really hope Jacob gets the same feeling as I do.
